the hotel's location was acceptable.

The bedsheets weren't big enough. the bottom sheet kept coming off all night. there was also an adjoining door to the next room. i could hear the noisy guests next door playing loud music after midnight. It was irritating.

Lovely Stay with Amazing VIEWS

bridge view spacious room great architecture faultless breakfast

The terrace gave a view of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Avon Gorge. The room was spacious and well-appointed even though it was sold as a 'Classic Room'. The architecture allowed full advantage of the location, so i watched the sun set over the bridge. Breakfast was faultless.

The Hotel was rather noisy because the bedroom doors slammed. I needed to be quieter than a mouse, but most guests do not know this. It was challenging to sleep well.

Dining

9/10

The cooked breakfast was excellent and everything was cooked to order. The restaurant overlooked the suspension bridge and river avon. This offered a wonderful dining EXPERIENCE with magnificent scenery.

Service
